The qRT-PCR technique was used to determine the level of IL-17 gene expression in the studied groups. IL-17 gene expression was compared between the tested groups using t-test or Mann-Whitney U-test. Subjects' mean age (±SE) was 45(±5) and 44 (±4) among tested cases and related controls, respectively. The relative mRNA expression was 4.04±2.4 in patients with P-CAD and 2.75±1.3 in controls for IL-17. IL-17 gene expression was not significantly different in the tested groups (P> 0.05). IL-17 is not associated with risk of P-CAD in Iranian Turks.Introduction Recurrent patellofemoral dislocation (RPD) is a disabling condition with a variety of anatomical risk factors. Its management remains difficult and controversial. Patients with RPD are known to have increased femoral anteversion (FA) and tibial tubercle trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance, but their effect on the patellar tilt angle (PTA) is less studied. Aims The aims of this study are to compare PTA, TT-TG distance and FA between RPD patients and healthy controls and to establish a relation between these parameters and the type of surgery indicated for this pathology. Materials and methods A total of 63 knees (57.1% females, 28.1±6.2 years), of which 33 from subjects with RPD and 30 from healthy controls, were assessed by computed tomography (CT) scan under supine position, with the measurement of TT-TG distance, FA and PTA. Results The values of PTA, FA and TT-TG distance were significantly higher in the RPD group compared to the control group (CI 95% 9.52-11.64, CI 95% 5.87-11.8, CI 95% 6.44-9.72, respectively, with p value 20 mm, but no correlations were found between TT-TG and FA on less than 20 mm. Conclusion In patients with RPD, FA, TT-TG and PTA have significantly higher values than controls. Higher PTA, TT-TG and FA are associated with an anteversion angle greater than 25 degrees and a TT-TG distance more than 20 mm, which might indicate a derotational femoral osteotomy to these patients in order to correct this pathology.Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus is known to be associated with other endocrine dysfunctions and thyroid is one of them. In the current study we tried to evaluate the frequency of thyroid dysfunctions in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and compare them with a normal control population. Methods This cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Physiology and Department of General Medicine, Kakatiya Medical College, and MGM Hospital, Warangal, India. A total of 50 consecutive patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 were selected as cases, and an equal number of age- and sex-matched individuals with normoglycemia as controls. Laboratory investigations included measurements of fasting blood sugar [FBS] and HbA1c values after overnight fasting for eight hours, serum triglycerides, along with serum TSH, FT3, and FT4, which were measured by chemiluminescence immunoassay. Results Among all cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus, eight (16%) presented thyroid disorders, with 10% in male patients and 6% in female patients. The overall frequency of thyroid disorders was found in four (8%) cases, of which two (4%) in males and two in females. The values of TSH μIU/ml and FBS mg/dl in type 2 diabetes mellitus cases were plotted and a Pearson correlation coefficient of +0.70 was calculated, indicating a positive correlation between the TSH and FBS. Along with TSH levels, the values of HbA1c were plotted in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and a Pearson correlation coefficient of +0.76 was calculated. Conclusion Within the limitations of the present study, it can be concluded that the prevalence of thyroid dysfunctions is more common in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Also, a continuous positive correlation of TSH with FBS and HbA1c was found. Hence, a periodic screening for their coexistence in thyroid dysfunctions among diabetic patients is advisable.Objectives Hepatitis C virus requires and induces changes in liver lipidome for its life cycle. In addition, alterations in plasma and erythrocyte lipidome are observed during a range of chronic liver diseases. Methods A total of six subjects (three males and three females) were included in our study. All subjects were HCV positive according to virus RNA detection. Erythrocyte ghosts were prepared from blood and collected upon diagnosis and also at the end of the treatment with Direct Antiviral Agents (DAA). Lipids were extracted from the erythrocyte ghosts, and cholesterol and phospholipids were analyzed by thin layer chromatography. A semi-quantitative estimation of cholesterol (CHOL), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylcholine (PC) and sphingomyelin (SM) was performed by densitometric analysis of the chromatographs. Results After the antiviral treatment, PE percentage decreased, whereas the PC/PE and CHOL/PE ratio increased significantly. There were also other weaker differences for CHOL, PI, PS, PC and SM. Before DAA there was a very weak correlation between ALT and PC/PE ratio. In contrast, there was a steep negative correlation between these two parameters after DAA. Conclusion Red blood cell lipid composition and especially the PC/PE ratio could be a candidate real time biological marker for inflammation resolution during hepatitis C treatment.Background Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) represents the most frequently diagnosed cancer in humans. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/CP-690550.html Occupational solar UV radiation exposure is associated with a higher-risk of developing NMSC, but still Romania does not acknowledge this affliction as an occupational disease. The study aims to determine if occupationally-induced NMSC is associated with more aggressive clinical and histopathological features compared to sporadic NMSC. Material and methods A retrospective, analytical, comparative study was conducted during 2017-2019 in a University Department of Dermato-venereology in Bucharest, Romania, with focus on patients presenting with NMSC who underwent surgical excision of lesions followed by histopathological examination, classified as outdoor or indoor workers. High-risk clinical and histopathological characteristics were analysed and correlated with outdoor UV exposure. Outcomes The study included 51 consecutive patients diagnosed with NMSC, of which 25 outdoor workers (OW) and 26 controls as indoor workers with no occupational UV exposure background.
